Southwark Council, code 12 parked in a residents zone without a
permit

---------------------------------------------------------
Dear all,
Just received a PCN for parking in a residential zone outside
my barber shop. I've been parking there for many years now
during my monthly barber visits, 20-30 mins at a time. Most of
their customers also park up. The staff also park their cars
outside the shop on double yellows. We never have issues with
parking outside the shop, as the officers know to keep one eye
closed. Genuinely shocked to see that it will cost me an extra
£80!
I am hoping you can find something wrong with the ticket that I
could appeal? Any advice at all is very welcome.
Pictures of the ticket:

Location (exactly where the phone booth is under the tree):

One thing to note, the CPZ was only introduced to this street a
couple years ago, whereas before it used to be free. So the
google maps link is outdated. The current signage is mon-fri
0830 - 1830.
Let me know if there's anything else I need to provide.
Thanks

Couldn't use your links, but a review of the photos on the
council's website shows you bang-to-rights. Can't see anything
other than a plea for discretion.
IMO, if you refer to CEO's turning a blind eye, shop staff
parking on DYL and you having parked here knowingly but without
issue then not only would these not carry any weight, you'd
probably find CEOs queuing to get into the road to get their
day's quota before 9am, especially anyone caught by the
implication ofyour 'blind eye' allegation.

Alright thanks, I anticipated there's no way out unless maybe
something was wrong with the ticket.
You guys have successfully helped me out 3 times in the past 5
years so I thought it's worth a try!
I still think £80/£160 is just ridiculous for such an offense
>:(

You should at least make reps within the 14-day period as these
would be risk-free.

Hi all,
I have appealed on discretion basis, however it's been 21 days
now that the council hasn't responded.
I swear I've read that they have 21 days to get back to me, but
of course I might be wrong. Can anyone confirm?
thanks

You're wrong, unfortunately.
You submitted an informal challenge against the PCN served under
the Traffic Management Act 2004. There is no mandated response
period in the Act and its associated regulations, to these,
other than fairness, like replying in 3 months time. The next
stage, the Notice to Owner, requires the enforcing authority to
rely within 56 days, or else the representations are
automatically accepted.
